  • 2: Provincial Matters
    2: Provincial matters Thirty years before Richard Hoggart lived in Rochester, Kathleen McEnery [ 19 ] Cunningham presided at the centre of a lively cultural scene there. In 1914, she had married Francis Cunningham, then secretary and general manager of James Cunningham, Son and Company, a luxury coach- and car-making company. She was probably introduced to Cunningham by his cousin, Rufus Dryer, a good friend of hers in New York and, like her, an artist and a student of Robert Henri at the Art Students League a few years earlier. Before her marriage, she lived in New York, where she was already achieving success as a young artist. Her paintings were exhibited in gallery shows in the city with the work of Stuart Davis, Edward Hopper, George Bellows and other now well-known artists, and two were included in the landmark 1913 Armory Show, known as the major exhibition which introduced European modernism to the United States. In Rochester, she continued to paint – mainly still life works and portraits of her friends and acquaintances. The city was transformed in the years immediately after McEnery’s arrival. I wrote about this a few years ago, in a book about English and American artists outside the mainstream of institutionally accredited ‘modern art’. Economically, the first three decades of the twentieth century had been described as Rochester’s golden age, and the centrality of Eastman-Kodak to the city’s prosperity had important cultural consequences. The establishment by George Eastman of the Eastman School of Music and the Eastman Theatre in 1922 was the single most important event marking the ‘end of provincialism’.

  • The Heritage of Rogier Van Der Weyden. Painting in Brussels 1450-1520
    Press Release Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium The heritage of Rogier van der Weyden. Painting in Brussels 1450-1520. 11.10 2013 > 25.01 2014 In the autumn of 2013 the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium will stage an exhibition devoted to painting in Brussels in the period between the death of Rogier van der Weyden (1464) and the activity of Bernard van Orley (1515- 1541). At that moment Brussels was a thriving town. The Coudenberg Palace being the favourite residence of the dukes of Burgundy. It was surrounded by the palaces of courtiers and noble families like the Nassau or the Ravenstein. They were all important patrons of the arts. It is difficult to identify the painters of this period. Among the painters active in Brussels at that moment, Colyn de Coter is the only one of whose signed work has come down to us. Rogier van der Weyden, Portrait of Antony of Bourgondy ca. 1430 -1504 (1456 - 1464), Oak, 38,4 x 28 x 0,4 cm ©MRBAB/KMSKB Through a document we know that Aert van den Bossche painted a triptych for the Saint Nicolas church. Pieter van der Weyden, who inherited the famous workshop of his father Rogier, is mentioned in several documents, but no painting can be attributed with certainty to him. On the other hand, there are unsigned and undocumented paintings that show a strong influence of Rogier van der Weyden, or others with the inscription "te Bruesele" - made in Brussels - and some that prominently depict Brussels monuments, like the Saint Gudula Cathedral.

  • ESC Guidelines Around Gestures and Emoji
    ESC Guidelines around Gestures and Emoji Author:​ Lauren Gawne, linguist, on behalf of the Emoji Subcommittee Date:​ September 29, 2020 Version: ​1.0 Introduction Handshapes are one of the most frequently used categories of emoji, second only to smileys. Handshapes are easily recognised, and flexible in use in digital communications, giving us high confidence as useful emoji additions Gestures broadly fall into a number of popular subcategories like ​body-parts​, ​person-gesture​ and ​face-hand​, and ​person-activity​. Background The gestures fall into three main categories. Some handshapes might fit hand action types across all three. Some hand actions may also have specific meanings in one or more signed languages (e.g. the extended pinky generally means ‘bad’ in BSL and Auslan, and is the letter I in ASL). Emblematic Emblem gestures have a stable form that is linked to a stable meaning. A thumbs up only works if it’s only the thumb extended and it’s pointing upwards point it down and it means something different extend the pinky as well and it’s no longer a thumbs up, it’s a shaka 酪. These gestures are not ‘universal’, but have meanings across cultural areas. For example, the thumbs up is a positive sign in Euro-American culture but can be offensive in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. The published literature on these is strongly skewed toward American/European emblem gestures. Recurrent gestures Recurrent gestures are less formalised than emblems, they tend to have a set of meanings but they’re not as direct as Emblems and the form of the gesture is not as fixed.

  • Enregisterment in Historical Contexts
    0 Enregisterment in Historical Contexts: A Framework Paul Stephen Cooper A thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics February 2013 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I discuss how the phenomena of indexicality and enregisterment (Silverstein 2003; Agha 2003) can be observed and studied in historical contexts via the use of historical textual data. I present a framework for the study of historical enregisterment which compares data from corpora of both nineteenth-century and modern Yorkshire dialect material, and the results of an online survey of current speakers so as to ascertain the validity of the corpus data and to use ‘the present to explain the past’ (Labov 1977:226). This framework allows for the identification of enregistered repertoires of Yorkshire dialect in both the twenty-first and nineteenth centuries. This is achieved by combining elicited metapragmatic judgements and examples of dialect features from the online survey with quantitative frequency analysis of linguistic features from Yorkshire dialect literature and literary dialect (Shorrocks 1996) and qualitative metapragmatic discourse (Johnstone et al 2006) from sources such as dialect dictionaries, dialect grammars, travel writing, and glossaries. I suggest that processes of enregisterment may operate along a continuum and that linguistic features may become ‘deregistered’ as representative of a particular variety; I also suggest that features may become ‘deregistered’ to the point of becoming ‘fossil forms’, which is more closely related to Labov’s (1972) definition of the ultimate fate of a linguistic stereotype. I address the following research questions: 1.
